Yes html is all parsed and rendered by the web browser. What the elements do and how they interact and are displayed is defined by a standards body like the w3 consortium https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/

There’s traditionally been differences in the implementations of those standards between browser companies, thus causing browser compatibility issues where a site may say it doesn’t work in Firefox, or requires chrome or whatever. Though most major browsers use Chrome’s rendering engine now except for Firefox and its derivatives.

Yes I suppose it is less efficient than precompiling a webpage and serving it as a package that gets downloaded and “executed” though that then opens you up to cross operating system compatibility issues such as Linux and windows not being able to run binaries compiled for the other os. Html was conceived at least in part to be agnostic in that way I believe. As a “hypertext mark up language” it was a way of formatting text for easier reading

Binging with babyish on YouTube tried this not long ago when trying to make cheeseburger pizza or something. It wasn’t great

Weirdly though it wasn’t remotely close to the right answer so I don’t think it was floating point malarkey. I always assumed some defect but I guess we’ll never know.now I wish I had kept it so I could have sent it to Matt Parker for his calculator reviews

I bought a cheap scientific calculator for math class. When I tried to multiply .5 by .5 it gave a long irrational number instead of .25. then I had to try to explain to the store clerk why that was wrong before they would accept the return

Probably a mix. This was at Cineplex in Canada which also does the IMAX shows here. Maybe they were just behind the curve

That’s Tom from MySpace. Everyone got added as his friend so he could peep on anyone he wanted

In an interview about silicon valley the creators said they interviewed a lot of people in the industry and had to actually cut out a bunch of stuff because it wouldn’t be believable by people outside the industry. One small example was the valuation. The VC people they talked to said pied piper would have gotten a lot more money than what ended up being in the show

I think the Pentagon Wars is about as close as it gets for now. Not about programming of course but all about company bureaucracy and feature creep

Huh I guess I haven’t been to a 3d movie in quite some time. I definitely remember had tilting used to work

Oops got stuck in another lather, rinse, repeat loop

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”

Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

Good domekeeper joke ;)

This one gets me every time

How did you find crowdstrikes test plan?

It’s warm!

Damn draculas

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan’s airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

And even more, the opening of Office Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XASNM1XEQPs
